I’m grateful to be alive, not to have turned to crime (hopefully never), and that at least I’m more mindful than before. Life could always be worse.
Amen to that!
I am Grateful for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly things in life.
Ohhh, two very long days of work! And waking up with a headache this morning - yes Sunflower! And too tired to do spin or yoga (even with a toque on)! But the first swigs of coffee down my gullet (why does that word always make me laugh?) did feel good…
Now I’m shebabbling…
Obviously, I’m very grateful for the camaraderie of this thread after long long days.
I’m grateful I can hang out in uncomfortable places a little more easily, that I don’t need to run or numb, even though I may still have a few first impulses now and then.
I’m grateful that the more grace I show toward myself, the more I can show to others - and vice versa. When I’m hard on others and critical, I know I am usually seeing myself in not too good a light either - even if I’m trying to keep this from myself. I’m grateful for millionth chances.
I’m grateful the last two days were beautiful, damp and foggy and moist with the fall colours. Can’t get enough…
I’m grateful for another day.
Im grateful for sobriety . For waking hangover free . For my health and my life and all that is in it. And for God who guides me in this journey. I am so very blessed to be alive and in good health mental physical and spiritual I cannot put into words . Have a wonderful Wednesday all
Good morning.
I am grateful for this forum. Today I had a bit of wobble on the way to work, head was full of everything I had to get done and usually my go to would be to continue with the thoughts which would become more and more overwhelming. Today I stopped (albeit in the middle of the pavement, it’s okay I don’t have cool reputation anyway) and I took a moment to remind myself of how lucky I am to have the job I do and how hard I had worked to get it in the first place.
I think I want to give extra thanks to @Dazercat because even though I don’t comment often, I do read alot and I welcome the reminders to be grateful that you post. I’ve started my day better because of them.
Wishing everyone good vibes
Today I am grateful for the super solid day off yesterday. It covered all the bases of housework, a long bikeride and a play and I feel ready for a new workday. I am grateful for the smiles my silly kitty brings when he takes socks out of the laundry and carries then around the house talking to them. It never gets old. I am grateful for great strong coffee to welcome the day after a great night of sleep. I am grateful to hear the train whistles several times a day. It’s calming as it reminds me of my grandparents house where I felt cozy and loved. I also learned in a meeting once each time we hear a train to picture ourselves loading our stressors on it and letting them ride away with with train. It sort of becomes automatic and has been quite helpful.
As always, I am so grateful for TS and all of you. Hope everyone finds peace today.

I’m grateful I get to do my gratitude list and share it here with y’all. And I’m grateful to read the arsenal of gratitude we all have stored up in common.
I’m grateful I didn’t drink that last bottom cold slug of coffee with Benson on my lap. I got my hot green tea and a purring Daisy to be grateful for now.
I grateful for cat zoomies and dog gruntals. Or is that gruntels? I guess it gruntles whatever.
I’m grateful for the nice wet autumn smelling walk on the trail with the dogs yesterday morning. And the red popping maple trees. The few really stand out among the mostly ponderosa pines.
I’m mostly grateful for the wonderfully surprised evening with my wife last night when for some reason I put on some 80’s music videos on YouTube on the big screen. We had so much fun together reminiscing about how we grew up with the best music ever. David Byrne on Broadway save us a seat!!
I’m grateful my back doesn’t hurt. Much
I’m grateful to God I’m not a drunk anymore Jules
A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.

I love reading your gratitude posts, Emm. You make me smile. And laugh! Gullet is definitely a funny word!
Hope it’s ok to join you, been reading this thread and it’s a game changer; you are all such an inspiration. What a difference a day makes. I’m on day 4 now and slept great last night, hugely thankful for that. Finding this community has been amazing for me, I think my attempts at long term sobriety always failed because I never had any support. So today I’m thankful for this community. It is so different from the BS you scroll through on other social media. It’s a huge relief to read the honesty, vulnerability, and see people just supporting each other & being real. If all online platforms were like this, the world would be a different place. It’s a good reminder to me to bring this real-ness to every part of my life. So thank you. I’m in a good place today and have already started tackling some projects I’ve ignored for ages. Last night I sat and played a board game before bed with my ten year old, completely present in the moment without a wine glass in my hand. So very thankful. My husband is super supportive and doing well at cutting back himself. The sun is shining here and we are halfway through the week. Hope everyone has a good one! Thanks for being here. X
Welcome Liberara.
I am sure we can find some more room for some more gratitude. But we’re going to need a bigger coffee maker. We’re grateful you’ve decide to join us.
My heart is overflowing with gratitude today, and it’s for each of you. I can’t express enough heartfelt appreciation for the support I’m receiving here. Even if we haven’t directly communicated, I’m learning how to better myself through your experiences and thoughts and shares. I’ve been in such a dark place for so many years, and to find this community that I’ve been so lovingly welcomed into has me feeling like I’m wrapped up in a warm group hug with friends. Thank you for making me feel at home.
You’re going to need a super-sized coffee maker if I’m here! Thank you, it means so much.
Of course, it’s ok to join! I’m so happy you’re here. My feeble attempts at sobriety never held before finding this community, because, like you, I never had support. Reading that your husband is supportive and even cutting back is wonderful! It’s those people we’re closest to and live with everyday who have the ability to make us or break us if we let them. Stay strong, and for those times when you’re not, come here and tell us all about it. Big hugs
Awesome! I’m grateful you were here when I found this place!
This makes me so happy! So glad you are getting so much out of TS, this really is an amazing group of people.
Day 52 and grateful to be sober, off work, this rainy day and fresh caught snook for dinner!
Today I’m grateful for a lazy day in bed with cats and books. For delicious dinner. For my husband and him beeing content, a big task was closed today
I’m grateful to wake up hearing the rain! I love random rainy days I love waterfalls on rainy days too!!
